Lonley Men


I still keep my eye on the small ads;

I am living in one bedrom flat
in Queensway Bayswater. I am
looking a lady who gone clean my
flat and share my lonely time.
No charge for staying at flat.

  2. It may be difficult, but resistance will be achieved. Now, if he could just spell, he may be capable of tempting me.

  7. I'd do it if he'd agree instead to do the cleaning. Did he leave a telephone number?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Well?????

    He did say those magic words, "no charge".

    Ah, but someone would pay, and it what coin?

  9. oh poor lonely man. I hope he finds someone

  10. Poor man indeed! - his ad should've read
    wanted cleaner/whore to perform for no charge

  11. Sadness can be so...beautiful sometimes!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I wonder if anyone would ever answer an ad like that. I suppose if they were desperate enough for a roof over their poor little head.

  13. It is the poetry of sadness isn't it?

  14. Lulu, I think you see him as asking for a lot whereas some of us see him as asking for not a lot out of life. He's not asking for a young, slim woman, or one with big boobs, or one who keep him in beers, or laugh at all his jokes, who won't threaten his intelligence, or one who will pretend to like his friends, or make him feel like a king. He's not even asking for love or respect, just that someone could take care of the house and share his Zone 1 home (and most likely bed). And trust me, there are plenty of women dossing in London whose options look a lot worse.

  15. Don't consider moving in there! Never live with someone who can't spell.

    ReplyDelete
  16. "No smoker please" - that's just picky.

    ReplyDelete
  17. You'd cheer him up Lulu - and it may solve your flatting situation. No smoker as well!! Poor possum. He is certainly pushed to action though. Sad - but not depressed. Gorgeous I say! Hope he finds someone.

  18. Could he be a psychopath in disguise?

    ReplyDelete
  19. he just sounds like someone from one of the those reality shows where apparently no one spells, speaks the native tongue or has particularly high standards in relationships or cleanliness.

    if you apply, maybe you'd get on tv!

  20. Hey. I'm coming to London on Tuesday.
    This is the kind of wonderful opportunity I've always wanted.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Sounds like an awesome opportunity, why went grammar and tact and intelligence stand in the way. :-)

  22. It doesn't quite scan pefectly, but it's a fair attempt at dactylic tetrametre!

  23. Sorry I can't respond individually today.

    My own responses to the ad were mixed (and far less charitable than most of yours). I think he should get himself a cat and one of those blow up dolls. I'm also making an assumption that he could use the exercise provided by doing his own housework.

  24. Men plural?

    Does he have multiple personalities?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Quite possibly - do you want to join the queue to get his number? I'm thinking of hosting this as a lucky dip.

    ReplyDelete
  26. fyi;
    I also work nights so I like to sleep in and keep the shades drawn.
    I also like to collect Transylvanian soil and keep it in a large wooden container in centre of the pad, and oh, I am very allergic to garlic.

    ReplyDelete
  27. *God* that takes me back ... it's how I got married.

    ReplyDelete
  28. If someone was offering boxes of chocolates, would that sweeten the deal? Uh, asking for a friend.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Donn - wooden container in flat fine as long as I can use it to plant my herbs and garlic in ... oh!

    Red - xl needs to know if it was the yellow card that got you the girl or did you leave a trail of chocolates leading to the church?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I wonder if he got any tackers? I mean takers?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Have you managed to find yourself a new base yet?

    ReplyDelete
  32. I was a tacker - Frenchie, you can expect to be hearing abut my new life in Queensway anyday son

    ReplyDelete
  33. did you see this or find it on the net?
    I'm curious where this was posted. It might be better than craigs list.

    ReplyDelete
  34. welcome to you lisleman, I saw this in the window of a London newsagent

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm so disappointed you removed the telephone number.

    Sandy
